My daughter has used the vacuum twice and when she detaches hose to use attachments dust blows out the open hole. Anyone else have this issue?

Detaching hose from wrong side and front rotating brushes making contact with a surface.

She may need to clean the hose at the base where it attaches. Sometimes especially with pets you have to clean that section to keep the suction going or the attached piece may not be tight enough.

Hello! I had that problem with my old one. I would tie a long piece of cloth to a long piece of string. I would use my vacuum at the other end to pull the end of the string all the way through. Then I would slowly pull the string, and the cloth end would pull through the hose and wipe the dirt and grime away. I also read someone ran hot water through it after each cleaning to rinse out the hose then hang it up high for it drip dry. I hope this helps!

I have had mine for two years and am experiencing the same thing for the last month. Can't hardly vacuum anything before it pops off. Aggravating!!

Yes, the hose keeps tugging back when your pulling it out. you have to hold it while vacuuming. not fun

I'm having the same problem . Don't know why . Just bought last year. Not happy with product, seems like the hose isn't long enough. Tried with regular vacuum hose and it worked a lot better but not great . Found it easier to just do it the old fashion way.

The suction driven hose attachment flew apart in my wife's hand about the 3rd time she used it. That thing really gets to spinning fast. Hoover did replace it and even called later to ask more about it's demise. No problems with the replacement or the vacuum overall. We like bagged vacuums over the non-bagged ones

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

I'm sorry, but we've only been using it for about a week. I can say that in the last week, we have had that same issue. I was hoping it was just am issue with the vacuum getting to know its surroundings, but it seems like that may not be it.

I had this problem a short time after I bought this vacuum. I found that the base that the canister sits on had slid out a little and when I snapped the canister back into place there was a small gap between the hole in the canister where the dirt, etc. enter and the hole where the tube connects to the canister. Once I moved the base back into the correct spot and the gap was eliminated, the suction returned to full strength and has worked great since. Don't know if this is your problem, but it might be something to check.

I too have encountered the same issues. This is my second Dyson, but it will be my last. If you still have the time to return yours I would recommend doing so and purchasing one of the newer Sharks! This has been the biggest disappointment. Best of luck.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

I find that about once every 2 months, I take it out to the garage and give it a good blow with my shop vac on reverse. Lots of dust comes out, but the key is that it does come out. Then the case is clean as new.

I use the on board hose that came with the vacuum. It does not pull out easily and wants to go back to the storage position if not held firmly.

I love this vacuum! After a while the filter will get clogged with dust and dirt. I have tried washing it but I don't feel it works as well as having a new filter.

I am having the same problem, the attachments, once on the hose do a great job, but is such a pain! The hose is too short to be effective, and the "wand" is cumbersome. My only complaint about this vacuum.
